According to Ethan Einhorn, the producer for the collection, the three "lock-on" games (Knuckles in Sonic 2 , Sonic 3 & Knuckles , and Blue Sphere ) were not included citing "tight development times", and that including them would have meant "dropping several titles from the collection altogether", specifically the aforementioned nine unlockable games since "they all required unique emulation solutions".[citation needed ]
